So trying to figure out an all-matches UWC was difficult because of spotty data for the last couple years, but seeing that article for the first beta tournament made me think of something... it would probably be a lot easier to declare and keep tabs on an "unofficial HoTS champion" with all matches counting, considering we wouldn't have to hunt through a bunch of archives - we could just keep tabs on one player and whatever events they played in. Thoughts?

Baby is the new World Champion I guess ;o

It won't be passed around for quite a while, not until the next proleague season. He's eliminated from OSL and that was his last game in it.

Baby might qualify for Code A and then we'd see him there.

So the winner of the first HoTS (beta) tournament, and thus the first winner of what I am calling the "SC2 (HoTS) Challenge Cup", is (T)

Illusion. According to the rules of this cup, he will have to defend it at every official (HoTS) match he participates in, whether online tournament, offline cup, team league, KoTH series, whatever. Hopefully this shouldn't be too hard to keep track of, considering the known starting point, and it could provide some interesting champions!

Baby did in fact qualify for Code A! So his title defense will be his Code A R1 match.

The best thing is that due to no group stages in Code A, it 100% can't go down to code B until the title holder competes in something else.

From OP:

"Only tournaments played live/at a LAN and broadcasted on-location (i.e. no weekly cups, TSL, online qualifiers - only MLG, GSL, GSTL, etc)."

Does this mean that Code A/OSL preliminaries would change who the unofficial world champion is or not? It's at a LAN, not broadcasted, but the results are public.
